How To: Find a 5-point Poly and select it?

[Viekoslav]

Just found the solution to my own problem:

polyCleanupArgList 3 { "1","2","0","0","1","0","0","0","0","1e-005","0","1e-005","0","1e-005","0","-2","0" };

:beer:

Thanks.
I added that command to my Poly shelf with this icon...
For anyone else wanting to use this.

Nice Icon!

For this to work you have to select an object first!


Select All Triangles:

polySelectConstraint -m 3 -t 8 -sz 1;
polySelectConstraint -dis;



Select All Quads:

polySelectConstraint -m 3 -t 8 -sz 2;
polySelectConstraint -dis;



Select All Quads:

polySelectConstraint -m 3 -t 8 -sz 3;
polySelectConstraint -dis;



-m 3 applies the constraint to this selection and future ones.

-t 8 picks only faces.

-sz [0,1,2,3] Off, triangles, quads, nPoly constraint.

and at the very end the flag -dis turns all constraints off.


Now lets hope I can get a toggle of this working and I'll be a happy man!

What do you mean by toggle?
Are you going to put all the seperate commands on one menu?

A quickway to turn them off is to left-click into deadspace...

Here the way I have them set up so far..
1.ExtrudeEdge Keep faces together....from another thing I was doing today...

2."Where Tris?",thats what I'm calling it til I see what youre doing...
3."Where Quads?",select all quads...
4."Five sided+ Where?"Select more than five sided polys...I changed from the one I had before..

Now I didnt do that third command,it looks the same as:
Select All Quads:

polySelectConstraint -m 3 -t 8 -sz 3;
polySelectConstraint -dis;
